How the projector works

The projector accepts data/graphics and video input signals for projection onto front or rear
screens. Light is generated by dual mercury lamps, then modulated by three Digital Micro-mirror
Device (DMD) panels that provide digitized red, green or blue color information. Light from the
“ON” pixels of each panel is reflected, converged, and then projected to the screen through a single
front lens, where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image.

User interface overview

The projector is controlled through a menu system displayed on the image. The menu system is
controlled by an IR remote, wired remote, or through the built-in keypad. The LCD screen and
built-in keypad allow some functions to be controlled without the need of an OSD display, and
provide an accessible interface to view error reporting. The functions on the OSD can also be
controlled using the Christie Serial Protocol, through a serial or Ethernet connection to the
projector. The Web interface provides access to the menu system as a Virtual OSD (On-screen
display) and to features that maintain the software and settings.

Special mounting

The projector can also be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and fixed in a rotated position
without affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the projector the side­to-side tilt limit of the projector must not exceed +/-15 degrees.

Stacking projectors in a frame

The M Series projectors can be stacked up to a maximum of three projectors high using the Christie
stacking frame (118-100107-XX).

1. Turn the projector OFF and disconnect the AC power cord after the cooling fans have stopped.

2. Make sure the base plate is flat.

3. Place the projector into the stacking frame from the top or from the front.

4. Prior to placing the projector from the front make sure the pitch is to its maximum.

5. Make sure the bottom base plate of the frame is aligned with the projector.

Installation and Setup

6. Use a 6 mm Allen key to tighten the six M8 bolts securing the base plate to the bottom of the
projector.

7. When flying projectors overhead use the M8 safety point.

Stacking multiple projectors

The projectors can be stacked and hoisted in either an upright or inverted positions. Remove the
locking pin from each stacking leg prior to alignment and ensure the four stacking legs are fully seated
on the lower stacking frame.

1. With one person positioned on each side of the stacking
frame, lift the top stacking frame onto the bottom stacking
frame, aligning all four stacking legs between the frames.

Warning! Failure to comply with the following could
result in death or serious injury.

• Failure to engage the locking pin may cause the
projectors to separate.

2. Insert the locking pin through the holes in the stacking legs.
Make sure each pin is fully inserted.

Installation and Setup

The steel ball on the end of the pin keeps the pin from releasing inadvertently.

Table 1.1

3. When required, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the additional projectors in the stack.

Stacking alignment

Stacked projectors must be correctly aligned to one another so the resulting display is optimized. If
hoisting the stack, do so first and then align.

1. Prior to aligning the image, turn the locking nut to unlock then use the knob to adjust the
image.

2. To align the image, use pitch, yaw, or roll.

Pitch: Move the image up and down.
Roll: Rotates the image clockwise and counter-clockwise.
Yaw: Moves the image left and right.

If the projector is parallel to the screen, some keystone will be introduced with Pitch and Yaw
adjustment.

3. Ensure to lock the locking nut to maintain the image adjustment.

Installation and Setup

Aligning the image

Only perform image alignment once the projector is fully assembled and powered up in its final
location. Basic image alignment ensures the image reflected from the DMDs is parallel and well­centered with the lens and screen. This initial optical alignment is the foundation for optimizing
images on the screen and must be completed before final boresight adjustments. Before beginning,
make sure the projector is properly positioned in relation to the screen.

1. To display a test pattern press the Test key on the remote keypad or use the built-in keypad
and press the soft key that displays Test on the LCD display.

2. Select a pattern appropriate for analyzing image focus and geometry, such as the Grid test
pattern showing the cross-hair centered across the image.

3. Do a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens.
Do not worry about consistency across the image at this point, just center focus. It is good

practice to have zoom adjustment color and focus adjustment color in the center of its range.

4. Holding a piece of paper at the lens surface, adjust offsets as necessary until the image is
centered within the lens perimeter. A full white field works best for this.

5. If the projector is mounted off center to the screen axis, offset the lens as much as required.
Aim the projector over slightly towards the center of the screen, but use caution when doing so,
as too much tilt will cause excessive keystone distortion.

6. With the framing pattern on screen, double-check projector leveling so the top edge of the
image is parallel to the top edge of the screen.

7. Ensure the projector is positioned in the throw distance range for the particular lens.

Folded optics

In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to
fold the optical path. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If considering
this type of installation call your dealer for assistance.

Aligning boresight

1. Display the boresight test pattern.

a. Pressing the Test key on the remote keypad or use the built-in k eypad and press the soft

key that displays Test on the LCD display.
b. Press the Up Arrow key to cycle to Boresight.
c. Press Enter.

2. Focus the image on cross-hair image I.

Installation and Setup

3. Evaluate the focus on cross-hair image II and III.
If all three images are in focus, no further action is required.
If boresight is required, continue to step 3.
The adjustment screws on the lens mount affect the corresponding cross-hairs on the test

pattern. The cap screw (B) may be under a plastic cap. Remove and retain before adjusting.

4. Use a 5 mm hex driver to loosen three setscrews (A) on the lens mount. The setscrews must be
backed out several turns to avoid contact with the inner lens mount plate.

Cross-Hair Pattern Screw Locations

5. Fine tune the focus of cross-hair pattern I by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until
the cross-hair image is in focus with minimal flare.

6. Adjust cross-hair pattern II, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw
image is in focus with minimal flare.

7. Adjust cross-hair pattern III, by adjusting the appropriate cap screw. Adjust until the cross­hair image is in focus with minimal flare.

8. Repeat step 5, 6, and 7 as required until all three cross-hair patterns are in equal sharp focus.
If the boresight is acceptable, proceed with step 11.
If the boresight does not appear to be converging to an acceptable level of image quality, or if

the lens will not focus over the correct range of throw distances, proceed with step 9.

9. The original factory boresight can be approximately recovered, by positioning the three
setscrews flush with the front face of the lens mount plate, and in contact with the inner lens
mount plate. This may require adjusting both setscrews and cap screws.

10. If further action is required. Repeat step 2.

11. Lock the setscrews, and re-check the boresight quality. Tighten the setscrew enough to ensure
they will not shift.
